New implant may boost ankle surgery recovery

NCT ID NCT07401095

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two ways to repair a torn ankle ligament: standard surgery with stitches alone versus adding a special implant that may help healing. About 40 adults having arthroscopic Brostrom repair will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Researchers will track pain, function, and activity levels for up to a year to see if the implant leads to better outcomes.
